I fell in love with soup in college, when I was studying abroad and living with a family in France. Every night they began their meal with a silky vegetable soup, a routine I found homey, comforting, and elegant all at once. While we don’t eat soup every day at my house, I do try to have some in the fridge or a few varieties in the freezer. Soup is cheap to make, packed with nutrition, and a quick meal in a bowl. Plus, soup recipes are forgiving, easily adjusting to whatever ingredients you have in the fridge or pantry. Here you’ll find my Top 5 Soup Recipes based on ratings from FoodNetwork.com.
Freezer Tips:
- Freeze extra stock to use later in other recipes or for deglazing pans to make quick pan sauces!
- Make larger batches of soup, put extra in gallon-sized resealable freezer bags (or use quart-sized bags for individual servings), and then freeze flat on a baking sheet or plate to easily stack and save space. Remember: Try to get as much air out of the bag as possible before sealing, and always label the bag with the date and type of soup. If a recipe calls for finishing touches of cream or fresh herbs, hold off on adding them until after the soup is thawed and reheated.
